From: Jordi Juanhuix
Date: 9 January 2012 17:29


Dear all,

 

The Alba Synchrotron (Barcelona, Spain), and in particular its MX beamline, BL13-XALOC, is open for user applications for the first time. In order to apply, please register at the Alba User Office Application (http://useroffice.cells.es ). Worldwide institutes are eligible for beamtime, which is established based on the peer-reviewed proposals.

 

Application deadline is January 17, 2012. User operation is foreseen to start mid 2012.

You can find information about the beamline at

http://www.cells.es/Beamlines/XALOC

 

Experimental setup includes: 

  • In-vacuum undulator IVU21, 2-m long
  • Tuneable energy range 5.5-21 keV, DE/E = 2×10-4
  • User defined beam shaping from 10µm-200µm vertically and 50µm-200µm horizontally, less on demand
  • Vertical beam divergence <0.1µrad
  • Possibilty to work in focused beam (small beam) or unfocused beam (small vertical divergence 0.03µrad)
  • Pilatus 6M detector
  • Microdiffractometer (MD2) with Mini-kappa goniometer MK3
  • Automatic sample changer (CATS), 90 sample storage capacity (SPINE pin compatibility)
  • Bruker AXS X-Flash fluorescence detector
  • Common MX software installed

 

Near future upgrades include 96-well crystallization plates scanning.

 

Best regards,

Jordi Juanhuix
